Two tapered worm screws would not really engage the teeth, but act more as rollers.
If you mean a tapered worm screw engaging a worm wheel, then the teeth would engage, but the angle of the tooth on the worm screw would become shallower as the screw gets larger, meaning that in order for it to engage the worm wheel, the axis of the worm screw would have to be rotated as it was translated along to engage a larger or smaller part of the screw to the teeth on the wheel. At least; I would not be surprised if there were more issues once you licked that one.
